    A job that should be so simple..!! [:x]

    Changed the bulb in the faulty light, pluged the uprated loom back in, and now neither work on dip beam dispite the polo packet being unplugged!

    put everything back to std and i have both dip and full beam etc [:s]

    very odd, have you checked that the relays click on when you switch on the dipped beam?

    Are you running headlight washers as well as iirc you need them to legally use xenons in the uk, not that it bothers me cos i would do it anyway but just wondered if you have had any trouble with it?

    you only need washers and levellers on HID systems fitted from the factory, if you retro fit it to your own car you don't need em :thumbup:
